I have to take a break from my workouts. I am so fucking exhausted. I'm hoping to recharge over vacation next week and come back strong. I will still be logging my food and posting it here but since I will only be posting what I eat, I'm only going to post on Saturdays for the next two weeks. I swear, I'm not going to disappear. Melty will kill me if I don't kill me first!

I just cannot get my shit together. I'm distracted because work is so busy, and I will be on vacation after this coming week. At first, I thought I would have plenty of time to work out properly while on vacation, then I decided to get a tattoo on my chest the first day, so I won't be lifting that week. I can still do Turbo Jam, so I will get caught up on the Fat Blasters I've missed. Plus, my boss is giving me a recumbent exercise bike - I will be picking that up Saturday. I hope to get lots of use out of that on my vacation, too. Mainly, I wanted it for my son. I told him he has no choice - he is getting some damn exercise.

But anyway...I think the only reason I'm not falling completely off the wagon is because I have a list of all the workouts I want to do. I feel like if I just follow the list, I will be okay. Rather than scheduling the NROL workouts for specific days and having target end dates for completing each one, I just check off the workouts as I go. It's a big list but I feel a lot less pressure and don't hate myself nearly as much when I don't workout.

And after that cookie, I sort of lost my grip. I had a few bites of macaroni salad and a big bowl of Reeses Puff cereal. I thought i was going to lose it completely but I managed to regain control. I didn't log that shit though :(

My legs and ass still sting from Monday's workout so I was particularly dreading this. The workout took longer than I thought it would and it was brutal, even at these pussy weights.

Workout deadlift - 3x15x45 lbs
db incline bench press - 3x15x20 lbs
Bulgarian split squat - 3x15xbodyweight - It will be a LONG time before I can add weight to these fuckers
mixed grip lat pulldown - 3x15x38 lbs
Romanian deadlift - 3x15x45 lbs - I think I need to go up on this because I should be able to RDL more than I CDL but damn, I'm worn out by the time I get to these.
Swiss ball lateral roll - 3x15

The lying db row should be a cable seated row but, except for lat pulls, I don't have anything to do cable rows. The rotational lunge is not supposed to be a reverse lunge but I feel like I get better depth when I do the reverse lunge. And let me tell you, these suck. They will kick your ass. I had to go really slowly because my balance blows. I loved them. I hated them.

I have to go back to lifting and Turbo Jam. 22 Minutes Hard Corps is a fine workout but it's just not for me. I'm not motivated to push myself and I miss the pump I get from lifting and Turbo. So back to it Sunday. And I'm not even off track because Lou recommends a week off between Break In and Fat Loss.

On Mondays and Wednesdays, I have to work out in the evening, which I hate because then I have the entire day to dread it. Today was no exception. I've previewed 22MHC and it doesn't look that scary but still - I like knowing I can just come home and sit on my ass. Not any more, kids!

I did the Cold Start (warm up) before jumping in, since there's practically no warm up in the actual workouts. Cold start is about 12 minutes of "light" cardio and stretching. By itself, it is kind of a workout. Damn you, Tony Horton.

Cardio 1 sucked. I mean, I like the workout but I couldn't keep up with the pace for half the moves. Hopefully that will get better with time.

Core 1 sucked too. I despise floor work. I don't know if I'm going to keep doing it. My tail bone always hurts like a mother fucker on the floor and I've never found good padding.
